Ponzi Loss in Roth IRA

Am I correct that even though ponzi losses are available for non tax-deferred accounts under the 2009 letter ruling, you are not able to claim a Ponzi loss from a Roth IRA account due to the 2017 tax act limitation?



Yes, you are correct.

Do you have a cite? If they are allowing ponzi losses under the 2019 rev ruling why wouldn’t they allow the ponzi loss in an ira. Seems like they were only eliminating ira losses due to a decline in value inthe2017 act.sorry just trying to help out aclientthat got hammered by crooks.
